Research by Baltimore based McCormack & Company has identified seven ‘super spices’ for health improvement:
- cinnamon [regulates blood sugar]
- ginger [nausea relief]
- oregano [anti-bacterial properties]
- red peppers: cayenne, crushed red peppers, paprika
- rosemary
- thyme
- turmeric [found in curry powder]
Use these spices to reduce salt, sugar and fat intake.
Three Ways to spice up meals:
- Breakfast: sprinkle cinnamon on yogurt, oatmeal, French toast or muffin batter; a dash of thyme on scrambled eggs or omelets.
- Lunch: add oregano or red peppers to soup, chicken/tuna salads, or vinaigrette dressing; ginger over fresh fruit or in lemonade and juices; oregano to grilled sandwiches.
- Dinner: add rosemary or curry powder to side dishes like mashed/roasted potatoes, rice or couscous.
